Many might have noticed that one certain individual is not present in Tyson Fury’s recent training videos on Instagram. Long time trainer uncle Peter Fury is no longer Tyson’s head trainer as he’s been replaced with Ben Davison, who can be seen in almost every work out video Fury publishes through his social media channels.

In a recent interview with IFL.tv, Fury talked about his switch and why he did it.
“I’m training with Ben Davis AKA Duracell Bunny. Hell of a trainer. I worked with him for the first time over in Marbella when we went out there to have a bit of fun and I said straight away within five years he’ll be one of the best trainers in the country – and I’ll stick by that. Working with him (at the moment) and we’re going well. The thing is with Ben he’s around my own age, we can have fun – we’re on the same wave length. But he’s strict at what he does and he’s good at what he does. I wouldn’t have him if he was s*** would I?,” explained Fury.
Davison is known for being affiliated with the likes of Tom Little and the current WBO World middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders.
Peter Fury has been with Tyson for the majority of his career and had an important part in coming up with the game plan against Wladimir Klitschko who got bested by the Fury’s in November 2015.
Tyson revealed that a change was inevitable since things had become ‘stale’ at the gym with his uncle.
“Peter’s me uncle and I’d do anything for him. We worked together well. But a change is as good as anything else. I think we we were going a bit stale in the gym – going over the same things year in year out,”told ‘The Gypsy King’.

But Tyson assures that there is no beef between him and his uncle and they haven’t had a falling out of any kind.
“A bit of a change doesn’t do anybody any harm. Peter’s still working with Hughie and whoever else in the gym. We’re still talking – we have not fell out. It’s just I’m going to branch off a little bit,” said Fury.
Fury is currently in Canada supporting Saunders who will defend his world title against David Lemieux at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
